Zbt dun. LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 4, 182,6 We present our Readers, in another part of the paper, with the Speech addressed to the Representatives of . the New, States of America, on the opening of the Congress of Panama, by DON MANUEL LORENZO DE VIDAURRE, President of the Supreme Court of Justice of Peru, on the 22d of Jmne last. The circumstances under which this speech was delivered must render it an important and interesting document, but we confess that its style and manner have greatly disappointed us, being, in our opinion, ,unworthy of the extraordinary occasion which called for an address from the President of the Republics of th e new world. Instead of being that high, manly, and proud expression of the principles which should guide the Councils of States who had but recently triumphed in the cause of independence, founded on a Calm and dignified review of their own circumstances, this address appears to be a declamatory, vaunting, and pedantic jargon, more like the effusion of a person i ntoxicated with unexpected success, and giving vent to *Very idea which came uppermost in his mind, than th e well considered harangue of the Patriot Statesman. Aluidst t h e confusion of expression which prevails in . Was however, observe certain important declarations of State policy, affecting as well the interests of the a we. , themselves, as their external relations with other countries. Amongst, the latter may be classed the recom- M endation that no foreigners should be admitted who do not come in the regular Diplomatic form; that the flags of those ic mg d onui should be admitted into their ports, who do not not already established their compl ete it theirs ; and that having for th e independence, they should never pay one farthing of it. acknowledg ment We have received the French Papers of Sunda y, and the Etoile dated Monday morning. The latter contains little intelligence beyond the reports from Vienn a which we mentioned yesterday from the Ham burgh Papers, of the probability of the negociation s at Akermann being brought to a pacific termination. The anxiety, however, with which the Etoile labours to convince its readers of the likelihood of this result, excites a suspicion with us that the articles contain ing the reports above alluded to, have been manufac tured for the purpose of concealing some latent in tentions in the event of a diff'erent conclusion of the n egotiations from that p re di cte d ; and thi s i mpression I 4 not a little strengthened by a succeeding paragraph, ' 4llO l states, that it had been agreed by the Duke of WZLLINGTON, on the part of the Cabinet of St. jal lica i lh and that those of Paris, Vienna, and Berlin, afterwards coincided, that in the extreme case of a military demonstration of Russia against Turkey, 11 " , of tho4e Courts should pretend to an increase of t • erri tort' ,- -and that the occupation by Russia of • Moldavia and Wallachia, should be considered as a temporary measure. The history of the world affords so many instances of temporary occupations of pro-. vinces adjoining great empires, that we are not easily led to believe that an exception from that which may be considered the general rule of mighty powers, is to be made by the moderate and unambitious Cabinet of the CZAR; and that all the other powers of Europe are to look on while the game of intimidation is played by Russia, and to be too late to share the stakes if the dismemberment of the Turkish empire is finally decided upon. Extracts will be found in another column. We have received this forenoon the Frankfort Pa , pers of the 27th ult., and the Nuremberg Correspon, dent, but neither contains a word worth extracting. The accounts which we published yesterday from the coast of Africa, of the hostile demonstrations made by the Ashantees, and the information which we arc in possession of, of the power of that warlike nation, leave us but little expectation that the gallant exertions which will be made by the small military force, and the English residents at Cape Coast, will be able suc cessfully to resist the irruption of these barbarians. Sooner or later we are convinced that possession of that settlement will be obtained by them. It appears therefore right to consider whether it be of sufficient importance - to this country to endeavour to resist the attack, either by the present garrison, or to send ad ditional forces sufficient for its present protection (its ultimate security is out of the question). We, should, from our information, decidedly answer this question in the negative, and should therefore recom mend the immediate abandonment of Cape Coast Castle, rather than an attempted defence of it. Cape Coast, from its situation, was of more importance in a commercial point of view than it is at present. It was formerly the centre of a large traffic in gold dust, ivory, &c,, with the nations of the interior, which rendered its possession an important consideration ; and it was also used as a depot for provisions and stores for the use of the squadron employed to leeward for the prevention of the Slave Trade on the Gold Coast. Commercial intercourse with neighbouring nations must nearly Cease from the conquests of the Ashantees, and their decided hostility to us and the tribes in amity with us. In consequence, of the difficulty experienced in landing and shipping supplies for the Navy from Cape Coast, and the•fatal effects of the climate on the crews of vessels replenishing there, Cape Coast has been abandoned as a depiit, and that object more ad vantageously effected by the formation of a depot at the island of Ascension, to which the ships on the lower part of the station usually proceeded, and where they will now replenish with sea stores, while taking in refreshments produced on th e island, and recru iti ng t h e health of their crews. The loss of life, both from climate and warfare with the Ashantees, will also render the pos session of Cape Coast any thing but desirable to this country ; and its advantages being, in our view of the subject, no longer material, we cannot but urge the final abandonment of this ill-fated settlement. His Majesty's ship Thetis, Captain Sir JOHN PHILLIMOBE, has arrived from Rio de Janeiro, charged with dispatches from Lord PONSONBY. She arrived in M days at PortsmOuth. Papers of the 11th of August have been received by her, but their con tents are unimportant. There was no prospect of the war ending with the Buenos Ayrean Government, nor had any late advices been received from that quarter. Some forgeries on the Bank of Brazil had been de tected. The private letters mention, that orders had been received to discharge the cargoes of the vessels sent to Rio Janeiro for breach of the blockade of Buenos Ayres into the custom-house storehouses, to await further proceedings. Lord PONSONBY was about to proceed to the river Plate, in the Doris frigate, and the English Admiral had sailed for Bahia. A copy of a letter, dated Vienna, 12th May, is given in one of the papers from DON MWUEL to his b ro th er , ex pressing his regard and loyalty to his Imperial ,ZESTY. It was reported at Rio Janeiro, that Lord PONSONBY and the Captain of his Majesty's ship Thetis had had some high words on the voyage out, and that the latter had ordered Lord PONSONBY below in consequence, but we cannot credit 'it. In the neighbourhood. Two new regiments have just pawed the Dnieper. Preparations are making in several cities of Poland for the re ception of their new Sovereign. (From the Constitutionnel of Oct. 1.) Nualtatintac, Sam 25.—A good deal is said here at present about a memoir drawn up by an ex-Diplematist, in which he states the basis of a plan for accommodating the differences between European Powers on the affairs of Turkey. He proceeds on the principle that the East must receive a new organization in order to adapt itself to the wants and interests of the great European Powers. He first of all proposes the independence of Greece, which is to have a Constitution drawn up under the auspices of the Cabinets of Europe, and which shall take rank among inde pendent States, either as a federation, republic, or a monarchy. The emancipation of Egypt would also he necessary to complete the general system. Russia ought to get possession of Moldavia, and Austria of Wallachia. By this means there would be no fear of the aggrandisement of Russia on the side of Turkey, since Austria, by gaining possession of Wallachia, would have it in her power to check any such attempt. Candia and Cyprus ought to he separated from Turkey—the one to be given to France and the other to England ; utile', they should prefer to give these islands up to the Knights of Malta, who, to perform their political part in the general system, ought to be re-established on a territory , much larger than that of Rhodes, or any one island in the Medi terranean.

The annual Grand Musical Festival, for the benefit of the Hospital, took place yesterday, under the most favour able auspices, at Birmingham. In order to show the rising attraction of these popular meetings, we subjoin a scale of the receipts of 1823 and 1826, trusting, at the same time, that the present receipts may be equally satisfactory in point of progressiven ess: — First Day, 1843. First Day, 1556. Admission to Church, £304 17 6 Admission to Church, £320 5 0 Collected afterwards 424 1$ 54 Collected ditto.. 060 t) 4 •_ When we say that much of the Church music intended for the different days, comprise the names of such gifted composers as Handel, Hadyn, Mozart, Arne, Beethoven, &c., it is not speaking too highly in praise of the Festival to say, that it is f filly worthy the journey that we made from London to witness it. The first performances were given last night in the shape of a miscellaneous concert at the Theatre Royal; on which occasion Mozart's Sinfonia (Jupiter) was sung in fine style by the whole assembled chorus. Rossini's duet of " In' Abbraccia," selected from Il Tancredi, was parti cularly deserving of mention, not only from the spirited manner in which it was sung by Braham, but also from the vivacity with which he was supported by Miss Bacon. Miss Stephens, in the well-known air, " Rest, Warrior, rest," reminded us of the pathos of her " Auld Robin Gray," more especially in the exquisite tenderness of her allusion to the warrior's dream. As the words of this ballad are in themselves deserving of attention, we subjoin theirs for the reader's amusement : He comes from the wars and the rod field of fight, He comes through the storm and the darkness of night; For rest and for refuge fain to implore, The warrior bends low at the cottager's door. Pale is his cheek, there's a gash on his brow, His locks o'er his shoulders distractedly flow, And the fire of his heart shoots in fits from his eye, Like the languishing lamp that just &thee to die. Rest, warrior, rest. Sunk in silence and sleep in the cottager's bed, Oblivion shall visit the war-weary head ; Perchance he may dream—hut the vision shall tell Of his lady love's bower, and her latest farewell. Farewell ! Illusion and love chase the battle's alarms ; He shall dream that his mistress is lock'd in his arms; He shall feel on his lips the sweet warmth of her kiss! Ah! warrior, awake not—amelt slumber is bliss. Rest, warrior, rest, " • ' In the second act Miss Traria attempted Moore's " Harp that once through Tara's Walls;" the execution, however, watt indifferent; whether it was that she had got a cold we cannot say, but there was a huskiness in her voice very perceptible in the higher tones of " Thus freedom now so seldom wakes." Madame Caradori, Signor Curioni, and Signor de Begnis, infused great spirit into Rossini's " A qual Colpo," more so indeed than the trio itself is worth. Mr. Bmham's battle song, " Oh! 'tis a glorious sight to see," from Oberon, was animated; but perhaps he fancied that the day of Weber was gone by, for his manner had certainly lost something of that stirring energy which was conspicuous during his performance in the opera at London. Madame Caradori (accompanied by herself on the piano forte) sang a pretty air, entitled "Ca m'est egal," but, in consequence of the French music possessing little of ex pression beyond a lively prettiness ; she had no room for display. On the whole, the concert was very delightful, and as well attended as i ts exce ll ence d eserve d . The festival will continue some days longer, of which we shall give ample Particulars. NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYN E , Ocr. 2.—To-day being Michaelmas Monday, the election of Mayor and Sheriff for this ancient Borough took place, according to a long-established custom ; when Archibald Reed, Esq. was unanimously chosen to the honourable office of Mayor, for the fourth ti me , an d Alfred Hall, Esq. Sheriff; for the second time. The ceremony termi nated with the usual grand civic dinner, the ringing of bells, &c. Lord Viscount Middleton has directed that employ ment should be given to one hundred of the poor of Middleton, in levelling and repairing the roads ap proaching to that town, at his own private expense. FlRE.—This morning, about two o'clock, the neighbourhood of High Holborn was thrown into alarm by dis covery that the premise* of Mr. White, bookseller, of 26h, was on lire. This is the fourth time within ten weeks ; and M t . Taylor is the individual who caused the servant of a lodger to be taken to Marlborough-street, on suspicion of being the offender on two of the occasions. Circumstances have occurred since the last previous attempt, which was on Monday fortnight, which induced the neighbours to look with a jealous eye on the proceed ings of Mr. White. He was consequently taken into custody on suspicion of being himself the incendiary. Further particulars are given in our Police Report. HORRID AFFAIR.--A female named Elizabeth Oswald, in the i.ervice of a writer to the signet in Forth -street, was suspected by the family to have been secretly delivered of a child, which she had found means to conceal. On Friday evening she admitted to a fellow-servant that she had delivered herself the communicated to her mas t er , w h o night p rev ious--but refused to say what had become of the in fant.

Mr. Wadharn said, that latterly various quantities of his types had from time to time disappeared. At length, suspicion fell upon the prisoner, who was an out-door apprentice, and his lodg ings were searched. There, two presses, the one for copper-plate and the other for letter-press printing were found, together with a quantity of type and apparatus, which belonged to his master.— Remanded. A summons was applied for against the Walduct Company, which the Lord Mayor refused, though he acknowledged the ease was a gross one. GUILDHALL- 7 (MB DAT.) A Boi.n THIEF.—Wm. Baker was charged with stealing various articles of wearingapparel out of a lodging house in Ship court, Old Bailey, the property of John Hollis, a fellow-lodger. The prisoner went to the house last night and enquired for lOclg ings ; he stated that half a bed would do for him, and after having been accommodated, and his bedfellow had left the room this morning, he opened Hollis's chest, took out a shirt and put it on; he brought down stairs his own dirty one which he gave to the landlady desiring her to wash it ; he then went back to the room and packed up two large jackets, a pair of small-clothes, &c. be. longing to Hollis, in a handkerchief, which he deliberately walked off with at nine o'clock. He was fully committed. BOW-ST ET--(THIS DAT.) A baker's apprentice was charged by Win. Smith, Esq. M.P., with obstructing the footpath in Covent-garden.—He made au apology, and was dicharged. Mr. Charles Grindell and Mr. Hunter being brought up in order to give bail, the former requested permission to re main in the custody of an officer for another night, as he was not then prepared with sureties. Mr. Minshull complied, and Mr. Hunter gave two sureties in 1001. each, and hound himself in 2001. to appear at the Sessions to answer two charges, one fur carrying Mr. Grindell to a mad-house, and the other for assisting to take Mr. Grindell, son. to Tunbridge Wells. Dr. Burrows, whom Charles Grindell had represented yester day as having told him that Mr. Grindell, son. was insane, ap peared to-day at this Office to contradict that assertion. He stated that having examined Mr. Grindell, sen. at the request of his nephew, on Thursday last, he informed the latter, " that he was perfectly in his senses, though, from bodily infirmity arising from his advanced age, he might be sometimes subject to mental aber rations, and that, if so, he ought to consult the head of some lunatic asylum, respecting the manner in which be should be treated." The Doctor's conviction was; that Mr. Charles Grin dell himself was not in his perfect senses. lIATTON-GARDEN.-(Tiu• DAT.). A respectable dressed woman, who give her narne£lther Aug tin, was charged with stealing a sovereign. A person named Gormand, said that himself and a friend had been this morning taking some refreshment in a public house in Aylesbury-street, Clerkenwell, for payment of which he tendered a sovereign at the bar. The prisoner, who was receiving change at the time, took up his sovereign with it, and walked out. She was pursued and brought hack, but denied having seen the sove reign.. It was eventually found in her mouth. The prisoner said she took it with her change not knowing to whom it belonged. The sovereign was then returned to the owner, and the pri soner was discharged with a reprimand. QUEEN-SQUARE-(THIS DAT.) ATTEMPTIEO FRAUD ON SIR JOIN SWINBURNY, BART. John InMaw, a middle-aged man, was charged before D. W. Gam:imam, Esq., with the following attempted fraud Elizabeth Mortimore, a servant in she family of Sir John Swin burne, stated that the prisoner yesterday evening came to her mas ter's house with a large basket, apparently heavily laden, and said it wee to be immediately forwarded to Sir John, who was in the country, and also demanded 86. 3d. for the carriage. On wit ness's refusing to pay him, he declared be would take it back ; she requested him to open the basket, this he declined doing, and opening the door ran away. Two gentlemen on the spot went in pursuit of him and he was secured.—Committed. Al A ItYLEBONE.—(Ints MT.) Charles Izzard, a young man of respectable appearance, waa placed at the bar on a charge of mat-treatment toward s hi s wife. Mrs. Izzard stated, that her husband, who is her cousin, yester day morning struck her violently, and knocked her down. The prisoner in defence said, that he and his wife were drink ing gin together yesterday and quarrelled. He then pushed her from him and she felt down. Mr. RAwLiwrion—le it nota great shame for a young man of your appearance to treat your wife in that manner ? " Prisoner—" I did not tell you all Sir.—My wife kept a brothel before I married her, which I did not then know of, and she still admits the women of the town into my house." Mr. RAW LI NSON-What ! she, your cousin keep a brothel be fore you married her, and you not know of it ! Beside*, you are now master of your own house, and if it is a brothel, it is your fault, as well as her's ; and even, if it were without your know. ledge, is that a reason why you should treat her like a brute? If she does not consent to allow you to be discharged on your own recognistuice to keep the peace, yen must find bail." The parties then lift the office. MARLBOROUGHSTREET-(THIS DAT.) A great sensation was manifested at the office this morning, in consequence of Mr. Whit., of No. 266, High Holborn, being taken into custody on a charge of arson. It will be recollected that about two months ago he charged his servant girl with the same offence, but the charge was dismissed. Since that time the premises have been set fire to no lees than four times, and the account given of these attempts is so mysteri ous, as to induce the British Fire Office, on the attempt being re peated last night, to send an agent to examine the premises. It appeared that he had insured gin a much greater sun► than the value of the house and property, both in the British and County Fire Offices. Mr. Anoi.ritus attended for the defendant. Michael Shine, watchman—Ahout twenty-five minutes after one I was standing at the end of Tichbourne-court, Holborn, a gentleman called me, and told me that the prisoner's house was on fire; I went to the door, but saw no fire or smoke; I rang and knocked, but could get no answer ; I forced the door open ; I went iu down the kitchen stairs, on the left side I saw a flame of fire in a closet underneath the stairs ; the wood-Work was burn ing; I saw the flame as I went down stairs; I got some water, and put the fire out at that part ; after this was out I thought all was right, and came up stairs and entered the back parlour, and found that room full of smoke; I found a fire between the back parlour and the shop ; a flame was coming up between the iron chest and the wainscot; the floor was burning; it was six yards from the other place, it could not have been connected with the other. Cross-examined by Mr. Anotrays—l did not see Mr. Whits there, the door burst open very easily. Catherine Taylor--I am servant to the prisoner. I retired to rest last night at 11 o'clock ; as far as I know every thing was safe; my roaster went to bed at the same time; I slept with my mistress; my master slept in the adjoining room ; about one o'clock my mistress, who miscarried last night, awoke me, and said the house was 00 tire. My mistress went into the room where my master slept. I went into the drawing-room and opened the shutters; I did not hear any thing said by my mistress to the prisoner ; the latter was on the staircase two stories from the place when the fire broke out. Ile went to the way. li There w e w th as en no went otie w stairs and returned in about a minute ; my mistress wanted to give the alarm out of the window , bu t my ma s ter told her that she must escape directly by the top of the h o us e, as the stairs were on tire, and we could not es cape tha t way; I observed that we had of t i. h f e cor ou t s b e e a lv id window to that give the arm else in the house ; my master was undressed when I first saw him, but he put on his small-clothes and morning-gown ; the h ow wan on fire a fortnight ago, at another corner of the sam e room ; six weeks before that it was On fire.

A Mr. Southwell, from Dublin, made his first appearance at this theatre last night, in the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet. On a play so well known we shall forbear to offer any remarks, except just to hint, that the necessary qualifications for the representative of its chief male character are so external, and lie so immediately , on the surface, that fail ure (p rem i s i ng t h e possess i on of them) is nearly impossible. Mr. Southwell possesses these qualifications to perfection. His figure, though slight, is manly ; his voice soft and melodious—his action picturesque ; and when we have said thus much, we have enumerated (however heterodox the opinion) the primary requisite', for Romeo. It is, we are well aware, the fashion to enhance the difficulties of this character ; whereas the sentimental enthusiasm of one lover —even though that one be " the gentle Montagu"---differe so little from the same enthusiasm of another, that all comment in the way of attempting to esta blish a difference, is impertinent. Juliet, who, as a female, its nature herself—so inimitably are the subtle variations of the heart of a confiding girl pourtrayed -fell in love with Antiao, not becarter he was either moral, wise, religious, and so forth, but simply be cause he was handsome ; and we cannot set why an audience should expect more from " Montagu" than Juliet. At any rate, Mr. Southwell satisfied the most sanguine anticipations. He de claimed with tenderness and feeling, and in the balcony scene, which Kean used to travesty so distressingly, threw an air of ro mance into his lank and manner, that reminded us, with a alight help from the fancy, of the old Provencal Troubadours." Mrs. Iwo, as Juliet, was languishing and amorous ; but these quail. ties, native to woman, unless redeemed by elegance and sentiment, are simply absurd, and Mrs. West unfinumately gave them whole sale, while she diligently omitted their redeeming points. In the scene where she drank the fatal draught, her look, amounting to the expression of a nausea, reminded us of an invalid suffering under the anticipation of rhubarb, whereas it should have been a mixture of tenderness, despair, and delirium. But sentiment, at Horace says of a poet, " nescitur non fit," and we have no right to expect from Mrs. West what nature has denied her ; lei it 114 f. fice to say, that she is a pretty insipid lady, a good eetress, but a very English Juliet. Mr. Hooper was the Merced° of the evening, but as this character is peculiar in itself, and incompre. hensible to John Bull, who, with all his good qualities, is any thing but mercurial, either in mind or manner, we expectesi and witnessed a true English representation of it. Who but a post, and that of no mean order, can give with effect tie fanciful apos. trophe to Queen !slab ? Elliston, from a natural temperament, came nearer to perfection them any one at present on the stage.,.. but even he was tame. The house, we were glad to perevive, was well attended. ENGLISH OPERA HOUSE. Mozart's well-known opera " 7'ho ;Libertine," introduced Mr. G. Petition's Leporello to the notice of a London audience. He was very well and deservedly received, and has no inconsiderable portion of the hustling and whimsical vivacity of Harley. Ali's Paton made an admirable Zerhurt. The evening's entertainment concluded with " The Spoll'd Child," in which Clara Fisher performed (and ably) the part of Little Pickle. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET FIRST OCTOBER MEETING.
